It's a Cookin' Contest - Okie Style!!
Okie dokie, here’s the history of this great event…
Back in May 2006, a bunch of us Okies went to GeoWoodstock IV at Cedar Hill State Park south of Dallas. On the night before the big event there was a Texas Chili Cook-Off event for the people who arrived early. Since learnin' to cook both Colorado-style and Okie-style, I entered my unusual chili recipe that included both corn and BBQ sauce. Long story short, I made all those Texans look real bad, and won!
So a few months later before our Fall Fest at Walnut Creek, I decided to have a similar event. But then I thought, heck, why waste time with just chili? Let's show 'em Texans what all can be done with BBQ sauce!
Over the years we've had hundreds of folks bring some real good things to eat! And we even had a few real bad things too. But each year has been a lotta fun and always very filling! And each year we get more entries and more hungry judges! Wow! next thing we know it'll be a mega event! LOL
SO... at 6:30 on Friday night bring your best BBQ sauce dish to the coords above. It can be ANYTHING- as long as it has BBQ sauce on it, in it, or around it! The only limit is your imagination and your favorite BBQ sauce.
Those who don't want to be in the contest please bring any side dish to share.
Everyone who brings a BBQ entry or side dish (and, yes, beer is a side dish) will get to vote. Cooks will be eligible for prizes, braggin' rights and the coveted "Best Overall BBQ" apron. Only one vote per person though. Everyone else is welcome to come sample the fixin's. Last minute entries are always welcome!
So bring it on, fellow Okies! If I can show 'em Texans how to make chili by throwin' in a little BBQ sauce, we all can show off how to cook Okie-style!
Event should be over around 9:00 p.m.
Again this year the winner will recieve the coverted winners apron!! There will also be cetifcicates awarded for:
Best Meat BBQ

NOTE: To make things easier please bring your own lawn chairs and drinks. I will provide plates, utensils, and napkins. Anyone with extra tables or lights please bring those too!
